Lothersdale is a small village and civil parish in the former Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, near Skipton and within the triangle formed by Skipton, Cross Hills and Colne. It is a small community of about 200 houses but local amenities include a park, church, chapel, pub, village hall, clubhouse and primary school. The Pennine Way runs through it. The Parish Council has five elected members and meets on the second Thursday of each month (except for August) at 7.30 p.m. It decides on the amount of local taxes (the precept), planning applications, and numerous other issues pertaining to local life.No house in the village is connected to mains gas or water and it has very limited mobile and broadband connection. This has had the effect of limiting the amount of development that has taken place and gives the village an unspoilt atmosphere. It has also caused conflict for more than 25 years over the ownership rights of water from various springs. The village boasts a recreation ground which includes woodland walks, the village beck, bird-hide, picnic areas, a football pitch, a multi-use games area and a new children's playground. The village pub is the Hare and Hounds. It serves hot food and real ales. The village hall is a popular venue for parties, concerts, dances, whist drives and other social events. In recent years the village has held an annual 'Party in the Park' in the recreation ground. On the site of a former lime and baryte quarry is Raygill Lakes, which was the first site studied by the Yorkshire Geological Society in 1875. Mammalian and marine fossils were discovered here. The village has good rail connections (two miles away in Cononley) to Leeds, Bradford and London, about three hours by rail from Skipton. Access to Manchester is via the M65 motorway at Colne. The primary school was ranked by Ofsted as "Outstanding" in 2014.

Cononley Mine is a former lead mine in Cononley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Lead mining has taken place in Cononley on a small scale since the Mediaeval period. In about 1842, the area of the small mines was leased by the Duke of Devonshire, and developed as a single, larger mine. Several buildings survive from this period, including the engine house and chimney, gunpowder magazine, and forge, each of which are Grade II listed. In 1848 or 1849 an inclined plane was constructed, enabling a steam engine to haul ore and waste directly out of the mine. Production peaked at 804 tons in 1850. The mine was repeatedly extended, but production fell steadily, and was negligible after 1870. The mine was put up for sale in 1878, but there was no interest. The mine appears to have closed in 1882, but it reopened in 1919, work focusing on extracting baryte from waste tips. The last mining took place in 1958, while a plan to reopen the mine in 1982 was abandoned after it was discovered the workings were in worse condition than expected. A 1985 proposal to remove the waste tips to work through elsewhere was also abandoned, in the face of local opposition. The engine house is built of stone with some brick patching and quoins, and is roofless. There are two storeys and a rectangular plan. In the west gable end are two openings with pointed arches, voussoirs and keystones. The east gable end contains a doorway with a timber lintel and square openings, and there are other openings elsewhere, some blocked. The detached chimney is in stone with a tapering circular plan, and is 50 feet (15 m) high. Near the top and about 12 feet (3.7 m) lower are moulded bands. The magazine building is in stone with quoins and a corrugated iron roof. It has a single storey and a square plan. Apart from a doorway and a square opening in the east gable end, all the walls are blank. The former forge is also built of stone and is roofless. It has a square plan, a single storey and one bay. It contains a doorway with a plain lintel, and two blocked square openings. In addition to the buildings, the portal to the engine shaft survives, built of stone and approached by dry stone walls which taper towards the entrance. The walls rise to form a barrel vault leading to the shaft. The portal leading to the inclined plane is also built of stone. Stone-lined walls lead down to a semicircular-headed portal with large voussoirs and a projecting keystone, which leads to another barrel vaulted tunnel.
